the State. Transportation by water and
rail is no Small item for intending pur-
chasers to consider. Our roads are good,
winter and Summer; and it is to be added
that Sacramento is the great central fruit
shipping point, and that is very great
advantage.
The idea of Board, or whatever you
ma cali them, meeting and passing resolu-
tons as to how money can be raised and
how it shall be spent in order 10 bring peo-
pie into town or county is not the mod
ern style. Let company of determined
business men, who are not afraid TO invest
some capital in some good tract of land, go
right to work and develop it; make the
terms of sale easy: get railroad on or
near it build a school house. church. put
up a few business buildings, advertise, in
well written circulars, and you will soon
get the people. The more of these little
determined companies, the better it is for
Sacramento. The more towns built ND in
our near outside lands the better. Motor
lines connecting them with our streets can
be built and made to pay handsome divi-
dends. Our present land values are within
the reach of men with small means who
want homes, and there is room for thou
sands. The fact that the boom is here is
shown in the number of sales being made
all along the line of the railroad from Los
Angeles to Colfax and from San Francisco
to Shasta. We have good men, who know
how to boom our section, and all they
need is TO have the moss on their back
scratched"
W. o. BOWERS,
Proprietor of the Golden Eagle Hotel. said !;
am confident that the spirit of improve
ment and enterprise is upon us. The gen.
eral travel from abroad is increasing very
much of late, and the people that come to
| the city seem to be of the class that wish
the best there is in the line of accommoda-
tons and are able and willing to paw ac-
cordingly. There is Also" be continued.
" "A general expression of praise and con-
graduation concerning our climate. Asan
instance, gentleman making the tour of
the world recently came here expecting to
remain but couple of DAYS, but was so
| pleased with the salubrious climate that
| he remained an entire month, and then
said he could not bear to leave"
GEORGE o. HAYFoRD,
Real estate and insurance agent, responded ::
No one who has means of observation
| and exercises them, can fail to see that the
advance in values is ALREADY here and
| throughout this entire section of the State
| Five years ago, the land upon which Cape
Horn vineyard in Placer county is located.
was purchased for So per acre. This week
we sold 40 acres of the ranch for $4,000.
| This is but a single instance of the increase
in the value of lands, and innumerable
cases could be cited of equally large appre-
citation. oh, we have the boom right here
now, and it's come to stay"
READY TO COOPERATE.
E. F. Aiken said: "This is an entirely
| feasible plan, and one which have favored
for years past. All the land lying east of
| the city should be cut into small holdings
and be settled by thrifty families There
is already street railroad to Thirty first
| street, and an extension of the street the
railroad is located upon-H street-would
intersect with forty-foot public highway,
already established, and commencing only
1,747 feet from the east line of Thirty first
street. This would be good starter, and
| lay open to easy access the rich lands out
as far as Oak Knoll. If syndicate could
be formed, not for the purpose of making
money out of il, but to settle up this sec
ton with desirable families, it would be the
proper course to take and would prove a
| benefit to Sacramento and all interested
here. | would favor such a scheme BY
putting in portion of my land at a very
reasonable valuation, and in other WAYS,
and 1 am confident Others would. do the
same. The only thing that seems to stand
in the way OF this is lack of public en-
| terpriSe."
